Niger’s uranium operations are under the supervision of the French Atomic Energy Commission.

Holy crap. Did you all know this? I did not know this!

Howlin, the Democrats and fellow Leftists are all betting that they can win if they simply find or fabricate a big-enough scandal against Bush.

That simply won't work. The Democrats won't win without positive new ideas, and they have none. The more time and energy that they spend trying to tar Bush, who every decent American can see is at least faithfully trying to do his best, the less time and energy that they have to come up with seductive new socialistic strategies that might appeal to middle-America.

Further, we're at war. The last time that an administration changed parties during a war was when Johnson decided not to run for re-election.

I'm not sure I saw it directly stated, but in this article (The French Connection: Guess which country provided intelligence on uranium in Niger?), it states,

"This points, ironically enough, to the French intelligence service, the DGSE – the Directorate-General of External Safety. France is the former colonial power in Niger, and the uranium company is run by French nationals. Obviously, France is well placed to know the facts."

Freeper Piasa might have made some connections as well on the Uranium Files thread. I do know I've seen it in a couple of other places; I just don't recall which ones.

Supervision? .. No

I have only read that there were French "interests" there

Yep.

Me neither but it sure ties a lot of this crap together in a neat bow.

Holy crap. Did you all know this? I did not know this!

First I've heard of it, too.  However, I must confess
whenever Liberia, Niger, and yellowcake come up,
my attention drifts to azure skies of  hundred-degree
Texas, where the prairie dogs have disappeared at,
I hope, their own discretion from the prairie dog
town a couple of blocks away.  Now, where was I...?

Yeah. In fact, someone suggested that the forged document that the British picked up on Niger uranium may have been a plant by the French. The plot thickens.
